2. The Player must have played a minimum of 35 games in total for the 1st XV

3. Player’s who achieve 35 games over an extended period must have played a minimum of 5 games for the 1st XV in a season to qualify.

4. Where a player plays less than 5 games for the 1st XV in any given season, those games will not count towards the overall total.

Playing a game is defined as having actually started a game, or come on as a replacement. Matches where players are nominated replacements, but who do not actually play, do not count towards honours. Participation in a game purely as a blood replacement, will not count towards honours.

The 1st XV Captain may nominate to the committee, for their agreement, an individual or individuals who do not meet the criteria, but whom he considers merits discretionary honours. The Captains discretion will only be used in very exceptional circumstances, and the committee will not unreasonably withhold their approval of his recommendation.
